Brian Johnson has sent his best wishes to his AC/DC bandmate Malcolm Young as he battles ill health in the hospital.

“Stevie, Malcolm’s nephew, was magnificent, but when you’re recording (a new album) with this thing hanging over you and your work mate isn’t well, it’s difficult. But I’m sure he was rooting for us. He’s such a strong man. He’s a small guy, but he’s very strong. He’s proud and he’s very private, so we can’t say too much. But fingers crossed, he’ll be back.”
